The Cascade Lakes Highway west of Bend and Sunriver will open to through traffic on Wednesday, May 8, at noon.

Motorists should beware of spots of ice that may still exist on the road.

Parking is limited for access to Devil and Sparks lakes as plowing continues. There is no parking allowed on the travel portion of the road.

Vehicle access to Todd Lake remains closed because of snow.

Check individual resorts for opening dates.

The highway usually opens in segments, with the southern portion becoming snow free in early May. The northern portion past Mt. Bachelor Resort often does not open until much later, due to its elevation near 6,000 feet.

Deschutes County plows the road open timed with the natural melt of the receding snow.
